Comfortable chalet

Chalet Vif is close to the town; approximately a 15 minute walk (note that the walk back up is steep). The kitchen was well equipped and the living space was comfortable. We travelled with children and the 4th bedroom with bunk beds was on the garage floor, separate from the other 3 bedrooms which were located on the 2nd floor. We were a group of 5. Overall, a very comfortable stay.

Family Chalet

Well equipped kitchen. Plenty of comfortable seating. Lovely views from the balconies. Could have done with some more pillows for the beds. Short walk to village, quite steep, but fine if you take your time coming up. Village had a lovely atmosphere and there were different activities and nice places to eat. We had a lovely time, lots if walking and didn't need to use the car very much for the almost 2 weeks we were there.

Wonderful stay

We stayed in the chalet for one week. It's on a nice location with good views of the skilifts Rosay and, a bit further, La Joyere. You can see the skislope that is running in to Le Grand-bornand. Skibus runs very close by, although taking the car is also very convenient. The chalet is spacious, with a garage, bedroom and small bathroom on the ground floor ( ideal for our teenagers) and three nice bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor. The sunny livingroom/kitchen is well equipped and spacious enough for the seven of us. We enjoyed the chalet very much and...had a little throwback in time when we discovered the "vintage" videotape player...now we were able to show our kids how we used to spend our evenings...pre-Netflix time.. Ian is a very welcoming host, replies very quickly when there's a question. Would def. recommend staying in Chalet Vif in beautiful Le Grand Bornand.

Family Ski Holiday

We were 2 families staying in the chalet for a ski holiday. It was perfect for what we needed. In a quiet location just outside Le Grand Bornand. We had cars and drove down to the lift every day which worked well. We walked down in to the town one day although the hill back up is quite steep. Highly recommended.

Chalet VIF au Grand Bornand

Très joli chalet avec une magnifique vue sur les Aravis.Proche du village, on peut y aller sans problème à pied.Le village est très sympa, proche de la Clusaz et d'Annecy pour les jours un peu moins beau pour skier.Je recommande, il y a vraiment largement tout le nécessaire pour y passer de bonnes vacances.

Nous avons passé la deuxième semaine de Noël avec un. couple d'amis et leurs enfants dans le chalet de Ian et je le recommande à tout le monde, Ian est très gentil, la procédure d'arrivée est parfaite, tout est présent dans le logement, l'accès au village et au piste est a proximité.

Le propriétaire fourni toutes les indications nécessaires et le chalet a tout ce dont on a besoin ! Le seul petit bémol c’est la mauvaise isolation du chalet. Sinon lit très confortable, salon très agréable, chalet parfaitement équipé, a proximité de la navette.

Agréable séjour

Très bon séjour chez Ian. Nous étions 10 (2 couples et 6 enfants dont 2 bébés. Le chalet est agréable et adapté pour 8 personnes. Il est sur les hauteurs donc dispose d’une très belle vue. Est situé à 15 minutes environ du centre ville mais attention, le chemin est en pente et donc en montée dans l’autre sens. Nous l’avons fait avec des poussettes donc c’est faisable mais c’est sportif! Heureusement il y a des navettes/bus qui nous déposent à quelques minutes à pied du chalet. Le chalet est propre et la cuisine est très bien équipée. Ian nous a transmis toutes les informations nécessaires. Il a été très sympathique. Je recommande!

Chalet Grand Bornand

Séjour agréable en famille dans ce chalet bien équipé et situé à 8 min en voiture des télécabines du Grand Bornand. Seul bémol, une chambre toute seule au rez de chaussé avec 2 lits superposés alors que les 3 autres chambres sont au 2ème étage - compliqué d'y faire dormir seuls de jeunes enfants (trop éloignés des parents).
